A Birthday Party For Opus

The cat was, as they say, almost let out of the bag yesterday when Opus showed up a day early wondering all about the birthday decorations. We explained that we were getting ready for Sock's birthday and do you believe it but he fell for that explanation. Phew.

Today is the big celebration as my nephew, Opus, celebrates his 16th birthday!

The gang was waiting in anticipation as Olive teleported over with Opus for his big day. We jumped out yelling "SURPRISE"! We did it . . . Opus didn't have a clue . . . Thanks Olive for getting him here.!

l-r: Olive, Gracie, Karl, & Samaritan

. . . Because of Opus's delicate condition at this time Olive is overseeing the food preparation to make sure special attention is given to the food presented at the party. No tummy troubles today are needed.

Head on over to the buffet table, there is plenty to eat and something there that you will enjoy.

Karl sent special for Opus's birthday delicious candy imported from Italy. Trust me you just cannot eat one.

After all of the surprises, visiting with many friends and eating way too much Olive is asking that Opus take a little time out and read his birthday cards. Olive keeps a close watch on Opus making sure he maintains his health and doesn't over do.

. . . now it's time for a nice drink . . . I suggest that you try one of each, so yummy.

You are welcome to stay as long as you like. The buffet and drinks are open all day long. When you do decide to go I have two DVD's for you to take with you. I hope you enjoy them. But before you go . . .

. . . you won't want to miss the laser show that Opus and I have planned for you. We have been working on practicing for the last several weeks.

Thanks for sharing in Opus's surprise birthday bash. We all are so glad that you could stop by.﻿

Thanks to everyone that has joined in the party fun to help me celebrate my 16th birthday. It is so much fun seeing my dear old friends and spending the day with all of you. A special thank you to Karl, Ruis, Momo, Asta, Jan's Funny Farm gang, and of course my Aunt Gracie for throwing me this wonderful suprise party. I love all of you so much. Plan on staying as long as you like and if you get tired Aunt Gracie has many nice places in which to snuggle down and nap.

Happy Birthday Opus! Momo sent us over so we hope we aren't crashing your special party!Your Mama and friends are very loving and thoughtful and put on a delicious and fun party for you!! We hope it makes you feel loved and special :)

What a smashing party!!!! I do everyone is having fun. And here I thought it was going to be a quiet, boring day at home! Time to hit the food table and then I'll be back on the dance floor! I feel like I'm 10 again!!!

Opus, love the profile photo with your bro, Roscoe. He is never far from our throughts. Oh how we have missed him. This evening we will toast all of our friends that are no longer here with us and share stories with each other.

Plenty of food and drinks, I have the cater on speed dial. The mom is so out of it with her cold that she doesn't even know we are here. Not only can we go into the night but let's just keep going and turn this into a TGIF party too!

GwacieI am toasting all ouw angels who awe pawtying in heaven along wif us nevew fowgotton! may I take a catnap on that nice pillow in the cownew , just fow ten minutes..then I'm suwe I'll need anothew snack hehehesmoochie kisses and long life to OPUS!!!!!

Hmmm, we don't understand why we keep getting comments about this not being a low key party. Partygoers are sober and the music is muted. Lots of chatter, a game of darts over by the lounge chair, etc. It looks low key to us. Oh, the food buffet. Could that be it?

what a party! i've been very low key ALL day long - but i don't think i can do it any longer.....DANCE everybody - JUMP everybody - and maybe it is time to have the thundering herd of elephants again!!!!karl

The mom here just got back from the doctors and she has pneumonia in the left lung and sinusitis so I can say for a fact that she will not interfere in our party doings to we can go al the weekend long! Woowwwwwwwwww!
